Why is it difficult to get pregnant with endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a common disease in clinical practice. The causes of endometriosis are relatively complex and will also affect other parts of the female body. Many women have endometriosis problems, which will directly affect the probability of conception. This situation is relatively common in clinical practice and needs to be treated based on the causes. So why is it more difficult to get pregnant with endometriosis?

1. The most common area affected by endometriosis is the pelvic cavity, which can cause severe adhesions in the pelvic cavity and change the microenvironment of the pelvic cavity. This can affect the combination and transport of sperm and eggs, and will definitely make it difficult for patients to become pregnant. The second one may lead to abnormal immune function. At this time, anti-endometrial antibodies will increase and destroy the normal metabolic and physiological functions of the endometrium, making it difficult to get pregnant. The third is that when there are endometriosis lesions on the ovaries, it will affect the function of the ovaries. This will affect her ovulation and lead to ovulation disorder. It is also difficult to get pregnant at this time. Finally, as I just mentioned, severe pelvic adhesions will affect the transportation of fertilized eggs, so these conditions will make it difficult for patients to become pregnant.

2. For endometriosis, we must first see whether the patient has clinical symptoms, heavy menstruation, pain during sexual intercourse, or other urinary tract and intestinal symptoms. Endometriosis may lead to immune dysfunction. At this time, the antibodies in the endometrium will increase, thereby destroying the normal metabolic and physiological functions of the endometrium, making it difficult to become pregnant. When there are endometriosis lesions on the ovaries, it will affect the function of the ovaries and cause ovulation disorders, which may lead to infertility after a long period of time.

3. Endometriosis commonly affects the pelvis, causing severe adhesions in the pelvis and changing the pelvic microenvironment. This will affect the combination and transport of sperm and eggs, making it difficult for patients to become pregnant. Moreover, endometriosis shows familial clustering, and women whose first-degree relatives have had endometriosis have a 7-10 times increased risk of developing the disease. Please note that endometriosis itself is a benign lesion, but it also has the potential to become malignant, but the chance is very small, probably less than 1%. Therefore, patients with endometriosis do not need to worry too much, as long as they cooperate with the doctor to receive relevant treatment.
